  3. On Thursday,Bureau of Cannabis Controlfinally released the long awaited list of regulations that would regulate the golden state’s upcoming marijuana industry. The 276 paged document consists major rules, ranging from regulating the THC limits to prohibiting drone deliveries of cannabis. Lori Ajax, the chief of the BCC is quoted as referring these regulations as a huge “milestone” and further adds by saying that “there’s still a lot of work to be done. No rest for the weary.” Recreational cannabis market will start from 2018 and with a month to go, it is indispensable for Californians to be acquainted with the current rules. Trust us; it pays to know the law. We’ve prepared a comprehensive version of the aforementioned regulations and its impact upon California’s marijuana consumers. The rules dictate much more than refraining cannabis users to be within 600 feet of schools and daycare centers. No more pot dealing in strip clubs and no more transport of cannabis products on self driving cars, bicycles and evendrones! www.onlinemedicalcard.com: - 2001 East 1st St, Ste 102,Santa Ana, CA 92705

  4. Good news for big farms: The new guidelines make no mention of introducing size restrictions for marijuana farms and nurseries. Moreover, big farms will continue to thrive in Mendocino and Monterey. Modified THC Limits: Edible products are required to maintain maximum THC levels of 10 mg per serving and 100 mg per package. On the other hand, products such as tinctures, capsules and topicals can contain up to 1000 mg of THC per package for recreational use and 2000 mg for medical marijuana users. This means, Californians can no longer buy popularhigh potencyitems such as Korova Black Bar Brownie. Heavy taxation to follow for recreational users: Medical cannabis would witness an increase in taxation too, but not as high as recreational cannabis. A small bag of good quality cannabis, which was previously priced at $35 would now cost as high as $60. According to experts, taxes on recreational cannabis can be as high as 45%, whereas medical cannabis users can witness a 25% reduction in taxes. To know more about how you can avail tax savings with a medical card, make sure to read our last blogpost. Licensing to commence from January 1: These emergency regulations would allow the state of California to begin issuing temporary licenses for growers, distributors and sellers in just one month, thus providing the basic structure for business operations to follow. www.onlinemedicalcard.com: - 2001 East 1st St, Ste 102,Santa Ana, CA 92705
